[2015-05-04] Jethro Tull "Minstrel In The Gallery (La Grande Edition)" with Steven Wilson 5.1 mix (Chrysalis/Warner)

Oh My God, I think I just wet my pants! :shock:

One of my favorite Tull albums is getting the Steve Wilson reworking.

Rick A.

Description
Jethro Tull notched its sixth gold record in 1975 with its eighth studio album, Minstrel In The Gallery. Its elaborate production is reminiscent of the band's 1972 classic Thick As a Brick and its songs rock as hard as anything in the band's vast and storied catalog.

Highlights from the set include:
- Original album and seven bonus tracks (six previously unreleased), two mixed to 5.1 surround, and all to stereo by Steven Wilson
- Flat transfers of the original LP mix at 96/24 (plus "Summerday Sands")
- Flat transfer of the original quad mix of the LP (plus "Summerday Sands")
- An eight-minute film of the band performing Minstrel In The Gallery in Paris from July 1975
- Presented in a case-bound DVD book that includes an 80-page booklet featuring an extensive history of the album, track-by-track annotations by Ian Anderson, recollections by roadie Kenny Wylie, Maison Rouge maintenance engineer Pete Smith, and string section member Liz Edwards, plus lyrics, tour itinerary, and rare and unseen photographs

I just interviewed Martin Barre today and we talked about this album and the title cut which I told him is one of his finest moments!

What an album this is.

Wow, you did? Fantastic Pete. Will we see the results of the interview?

Nice. Both the interview and the remix announcement.

Can't wait for this. Love these boxes, best ever produced.
Wish the Zep boxes were as lovingly done as these and the Crimson boxes.

Love me some Steven Wilson and Jethro Tull, what a combo!

Seeing Steven Wilson in May (hope he has some kind of meet n greet in NYC).

This looks like a great set. I might pick this one up before the War Child one.

I'm curious if he does "Too Old to Rock N Roll" next. That's an odd album in the Jethro Tull discography and not very progressive at all.

I'd like him to go all the way through at least Broadsword though.

Is disc two a live set? Are there details on the performance?

Yes!

And I have now officially stated why in another thread.

This album rules.

Geff R. · 27 Sep 2006

I'm in.

Beachy · 18 Sep 2005

I really appreciate that Steve Wilson has got a thing for Tull.

Bump: Domestic pre-order links are now up in the first post. Still awaiting the British listings.

Geff R. · 27 Sep 2006

The set list of the (I ASSUME) live disc in 96/24 gets me hot & bothered! :oops:

JohnG · 03 Aug 2006

One La Grande edition please!

Damn! I can't keep up!

Geff R. · 27 Sep 2006

Yeah, how about a deal: trade in 3 previous remasters of the same Tull title for the new one..........

I love this series, but I do feel a bit ripped off.

Or as Commander Cody sang in the 70's, "Steal that 7-11, or let them steal from you!"

JohnG · 03 Aug 2006

Let's see he does Crimson, he does Yes, he does XTC, he does ELP, he does Tull. He needs a day job.

Why is there "High-Res" in the title next to 5.1 mix?

This is not a High-Res DVD-A, but a DVD-V with DTS 96/24.

The stereo mixes are LPCM 96/24 (High-Res), but the 5.1 mix is not High-Res.

Linda · **Posted:** Fri Feb 06, 2015 7:43 pm

I've updated the title accordingly.
